Wow. We came into town for a little three day vacay and this place is around the corner from our Airbnb and we are the lucky ones for it. We went it to grab sandwiches and loved them so much that we grabbed Sunday dinner to go for our dinner. Full of flavor, the owner has a passion for food, it's evident, and I can't wait to go again while we are here.

We didn't arrive until very late, they were prepping for the next day. But what amazing service, so friendly and informative. The sandwiches we had were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend you grabbing a bite to eat here, you will not be disappointed. I will also be back on a Sunday to grab lunch as the prep they do and the way they cook the food means I am certain it will be exceptional 😋 Thankyou

B&S catered for my husbands birthday party. They delivered on the night of the party, hired out serving bowls and collected everything at the end of the weekend. The food was plentiful, delicious, healthy and much appreciated by my 40 hungry guests. Would highly recommend them if you are planning something similar Very reliable, trustworthy and professional

The owners are so friendly & welcoming. I got a chocolate & pistachio cruffin which I had never tried before. They warmed it up for me which was such a nice touch, it was delicious. For the main part of my lunch I got a toasted bacon, brie & cranberry bagel a classic. They’d added rocket to it which went really well with the flavours. I would highly recommend this place and will be bringing friends :)

Thank you, Sean and the team, for a wonderful lunch today. I arrived a bit late, and the wind was quite strong, but B&S went above and beyond by serving me a heated steak and cheese sandwich. The beef was tender and absolutely delicious. I'm about to leave the UK soon, and I had a nice chat with Sean—he's genuinely a great person. I'm not someone who expresses emotions easily, but I gave him a hug. Wishing this place all the best!

They have made very good use of space, small seating areas but food is worth to go, I had the Korean chicken - stunning, sausage rolls are also very traditional and tasty. Highly recommend you pop in and give it a go

Hey Leo, thanks for the lovely review. We make our own Kimchi that's in the Korean chicken. And it's becoming one of our most popular hot sandwhiches Hope to see you again soon Cheers Sean

Badger and Squirrel prepared a delicious buffet for my 60th Birthday celebrations. We had a fantastic range of unusual and very tasty salads, lots of vegetarian options and some chicken and lamb too. All my guests really enjoyed the foods. The serving bowls were beautiful too! I would definitely recommend. This lovely cafe also does fantastic pastries and sandwiches. It is a real gem in Cotham.

I had a roast pork and a chocolate brownie on Sunday and it was absolutely amazing. The whole roast meal was great, the meat, vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. The brownie was perfect also. The atmosphere is lovely here too, very welcoming and friendly. My only problem is that I was only visiting for the weekend, so I can't come regularly.
